Welcome! This guide will teach you how to use the Lands protection system for the first time. Lands allows you to claim land, protect your builds, and share areas safely with friends.

What is Lands?

Lands is a land-claiming plugin that lets you:

• Protect your builds from griefing

• Claim chunks as your own land

• Invite friends and give them permissions

• Create towns, nations, and shared bases

Once land is claimed, only trusted players can interact inside it.
